From f1c6f1a7eed963ed233ba4c8b6fa8addb86c6ddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carsten Emde Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:14:16 +0200 Subject: sched: Set the command name of the idle tasks in SMP kernels In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper"). In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore, "kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0 entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled. This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the number of the CPU.
